On June 21 2007 they have hatch.
I have been searching to find what they where. There are not any photos of the eggs. which made it hard to find, now that they are larger I findly could ID them. I will keep them until they turn to the next cycle the "moth"

For the larva (Woolly Bear) colors change as the caterpillar molts to successive instars becoming less black and more reddish as they age, thus differences in color merely reflects age differences among larvae as they prepare to overwinter and are NOT a reliable indicator of the severity of the winter to come.
Larvae overwinter and come out on warm winter days. It is very difficult to rear these guys in captivity because of that reason.
